Responding to Literature

By Judith A. Stanford, Stanford, Judith Stanford

Book Overview

This thematically arranged anthology encourages the reader's response to a diverse selection of literature, including the essay. Four introductory chapters illustrate ways of responding to and writing about literature, with numerous examples of student writing. Eight thematic chapters follow, with a balance of new and traditional voices, including less frequently anthologized selections from canon writers as well as many works by women, minorities, and writers from other countries. A final chapter presents three poets for in-depth study: Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, and Langston Hughes; in addition, a 32-page full-color section pairs 16 poems with the works of art that inspired them or vice versa.

great quality!

I got my book and it was like new. It took them about 2 weeks to send it to my house though. I was already wondering if they forgot about me.

No complains

Responding to Literature with OLC Bind in Card and ARIEL CD-ROM This book arrived fast and well packed. I have no complains, since I needed it for a specific date and it arrived in perfect conditions. In addition, the cd is included and works.

Pretty good book

Not a bad little english book, definitely not the best I've ever worked with, but still easy to read and understand. I like the selection in the book.
